daily disposables
Throwaway contact lenses
Daily disposables are contact lenses designed to be worn once and discarded at the end of the day.
Unlike extended-wear lenses that require cleaning and storage, these are thrown away after a single use: I switched to daily disposables because I kept forgetting to clean my lenses.
The term emphasizes convenience and hygiene over economy.
